NECKTIE.

- Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed April 19, 1911. a Serial No. 622,188.

To all whom it moi concern:

Be it known that I, IRVING Lnwuv, a c1t1- the city of New York, boroughof Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a, newand Improved Necktie, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

My inventionrelates to a new and improved form of reversible entirelywoven necktie. a

An object of my invent-ion is to provide an all-woven necktie whichcomes from the loom completely woven, having the neckband thereof of thecommon tubular construction and the ends forming with the neckband, areversible open-ended four-inhand tie. l y

A further object of my invention is to provide an entirely machine-madeand automatically shaped tie, the ends of which consist of three plies,one woven beneath the other, and one of said plies being between theouter two.

A further object of my invention is to provide a tie of the aboveindicated construction, the weaving thread of which is integral end toend, to eliminate the raw edges, commonly found on ties of similarconstructions.

With the above and other objects in view, as will more fully hereinafterappear, the presentinvention consists in certain novel details ofconstruction and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described,illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and more particularly pointedout in the appended claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures, and in which- Figure 1 is a planview of myinvention showing a preferred embodiment thereof;

Fig. 2 is a plan view of one end of the same,

parts broken away, with the folded ends open; Fig. 3 is a transversesectional view taken on the'line 3--3 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 1

' is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 41- 1 of Fig. 1.

Described-more in detail, my improved tie is entirely machine madecoming from the loom complete as shown, and comprises a central tubularneck portion 5,, both ends of which are flared outward to form a wingconnection 6 between the ends 7 and the tubular or neck portion 5 toform a tying portion. The end portions come from the loom in foldedcondition, as shown in Fig. 1, which folded condition is formed byfolded plies comprisin a lower ply 8, an intermediate ply 9, an as shownin Fig. 3, an upper and middle ply 10. Along the end 11, each edge isautomatically stitched by the loom at several spaced-apart points 1 2,in order to retain the end in a flat condition. My improved tie is ofone continuous piece of 'material shaped as shown, the weaving thread ofwhich is one continuous thread, thereby preventing the showing of anyraw edges. As shown, the plies 8 and 10 merge into each other at 13, toform the tubular neck portion 5.

Many changes could be made in the above construction and many a parentlywidely different embodiments of this invention could be made withoutdeparting from thescope thereof. It is intended, that all matterscontained herein in the above descrip-.

invention herein described, and all state-' ments of the scope of theinvention, which, 4

as a matter of language,1nightbe said to fall therebetween, and thatmaterials, sizes and relativities of parts are non-essential, except ascalled for in the claim.

Having thus described my invention, I

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

A reversible'necktie, consisting of one fiat continuous piece of wovenmaterial, having .a tubular seamless heck portion and open In testimonywhereof I have signed my end portions integral with said tubular pornameto this specification in the presence tion, each end portion comprisingthree suof two subscribing Witnesses.
